How do I determine if the SlimSCSI Windows 95 miniport driver is working correctly?

1Insert the SlimSCSI 1450 into the PC Card slot, if it is not already inserted.

2Click the Start button and click Settings.

3Click Control Panel.

4Double-click the System icon, then select the Device Manager tab.

5Double-click SCSI controllers. The driver for the SlimSCSI adapter is listed as Adaptec APA-1450/60 PCMCIA SCSI Adapter.

■If the driver is listed, this means it is loaded properly.

■If the driver is listed but has an exclamation mark inside a yellow circle, it is in a problem state (usually indicating a conflict with other hardware using the same resources.)

■If the driver is listed but has an “X” inside a red circle, this indicates that it is disabled and is not loading.

■If the SCSI controllers icon or the APA™-1450 driver is not listed, reinstall the driver (see directions on page 5).

Note: Software upgrades (including downloadable drivers) for Adaptec products are available on the Adaptec Web site at http://www.adaptec.com
